# Universal Dyeing 🟡

#### 🧠 How It Works

In vanilla Minecraft:

* Once an item (e.g., wool, terracotta, beds, leather armor, etc.) is dyed, you **can’t re-dye it** unless it's white or undyed.
* This makes it frustrating to change color themes or palettes mid-build.

With this datapack installed:

* You can **apply any dye to any previously dyed item**, regardless of its current color.
* Recipes are **shapeless** — just combine the dyed item with any dye color.

**🧵 Examples:**

* Blue Wool + Red Dye → Red Wool
* Yellow Terracotta + Purple Dye → Purple Terracotta
* Green Leather Tunic + Cyan Dye → Cyan Leather Tunic

This applies to:

* 🧱 Wool
* 🛏️ Beds
* 🌾 Terracotta
* 👕 Leather Armor
* 📦 Shulker Boxes (if dyed)
* 🧵 Banners (dye base color only)

❌ **Does not apply to Concrete or Concrete Powder** — those must still be crafted using traditional methods.
